You know you're a "Facebook Liberal," or a "Twitter Liberal," or a "Social Media Progressive" in 2016 when you enjoy spreading memes on Facebook and other social media platforms about the evils of the GOP.

Against gay marriage?

Hell no, that's for archaic Republicans and backward conservatives.

Is Dick Cheney a good guy?

Ummm... he's the embodiment of evil. And yes, you'll debate anyone on Twitter about how Bush's Iraq War destroyed the Middle East.

What about fossil fuels?

It's the Devil, and yes, Keystone XL is a bad idea.

Unions?

Damn straight unions, they're the backbone of this country along with these people, and crazy free trade deals hurt American workers.

Wall Street greed?

Hurting the country, and those damn Republicans are in bed with Wall Street.

You know you're a Facebook Liberal... when you demonize Kentucky's Kim Davis and share a meme with her holding a pitchfork, but you'd still vote for a candidate who was AGAINST gay marriage up until 2013.

You know you're a Facebook Progressive when you think Dick Cheney is the bastard child of Lucifer and Darth Vader, but you want a president who VOTED FOR IRAQ and called this vote a "mistake."

You know you're a Facebook Leftist, and Twitter Liberal, and Social Media Progressive, if you vote for a candidate who is AGAINST THE DECRIMINALIZATION OF MARIJUANA.

You know you're a True Twitter Progressive Soldier when you spread memes on all the racist things said by Republicans, but still decide to vote for a candidate who used a 3:00 a.m ad with a "racist sub-message" against Obama in 2008. This candidate's husband was also called out by a leading African-American Congressman in 2008 for the manner in which Obama was treated during the campaign.
